As yet there is no reason to suspect
that the man. .came to his end by muir

what is now somewhat of a mystery.

1Dorer (Del.l hder.


J. III. Yane, of this town, has in his possess
sion photograph of the tomb of the late Hon.
John NJ. Clayton, in the Presbyterian church
yard In this town, that is attracting consider
able attention and has caused not little COM
ment. Mr.. Vane is q photographer, and in
March last took his camera and photographed
the monument. He was accompanied by boy.
When he looked at the plate he saw things
never dreamed of in connection with the mon
ument and showed them to the boy. The latter
no sooner looked at the plate than his hair got
on the perpendicular and his feet had an un-
comfortable desire for home, sweet home. The
cause for his fright was this: The monument
is a very large, fine, white marble one. The
tomb rests upon dais under heavy marble
canopy, supported by handsomely-carved pill
lars. There is q space of several feet between
the tomb proper and the marble canopy above.
And now comes the strangely supernatural
feature of the photograph. Between the tomb
and the canopy above can be distinctly seen
the head and shoulders of q white-whiskered
man. Peering around the right-hand corner,
as if watching him, can be seen the head of q
woman with gaze fixed intently upon the place
occupied by the photographer. Floating in
the air above the monument can be seen the
shadowy countenance Of q large, smooth faced
white haired man, with eyes and mouth open
the expression being one of astonishment. The
only explanation seems to be that the plate
was in some way defective or had the impress
sions impaired to it in some mysterious man
ner before the photograph was taken.
